She was old enough to make her own decisions

Sara partially blamed her brother for her predicament -- she had nowhere to live. So when he tried to prevent her from working as a live-in housekeeper for Brad Garwood, she took the job to spite him.

It would have been better if her employer hadn't been such a disturbingly virile male. But it was an honest living. Besides, rumor had it that Brad would soon marry possessive Monica Fallon.

In fact, rumors surrounded Brad's affairs... and Sara had the strangest notion that some of them were true.
